Wheel Spinning

This study is just finishing up but has not yet been published. We are wondering if giving a quiz question and then some video support will help wheel spinners. Students who fail to get three right in a row by the time they reach problem 8 are called wheel spinners.

Control

Both groups start by doing 7 problems like this one.

Experiment

Problem 8

Problem 9

Problem 10

The rest of the problems are the same.

The rest of the problems are the same for both conditions and only have hints no videos.
